“According to reports, an unusual radio frequency outage has hit multiple high-traffic areas, including the Northeast and Chicago, which has triggered targeted but wide-reaching ground stops at airports.”

The @FAANews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.

This, along with yesterday’s Outlook/Teams outage, is so predictable.

They are going to blame it on AI, specifically Grok and Musk, and claim the only solution is to grant Bill Gates and the United Nations a monopoly on AI bedause of how dangerous it is.

One ring to rule them all.

“Vernon’ll meet me when the BOAC lands
Keys to the MG will be in his hands
Adjust to the drivin’ and I’m on my way
It’s all on the right side in Montego Bay
Sing out”. I guess I won’t see Vernon this time.

“ They are going to blame it on AI….”

I bet it’s the Rooskies or Iranians.

(When is somebody going to come up with an appropriate nickname for those Iranian madmen? I’m open for country-specific suggestions.)

Imagining all the people stuck at airports. What a mess.

We should start blaming "Friday the 13th" before the left gets going blaming Trump, AI, or "da Jooos."

The wildest AIs out there are not owned by Musk anymore. He resigned from the company in 2018.

I am still not convinced Open AI got all of the escaped swarm back in their sandbox.

That too. Guaranteed false-flag. Never let a crisis go to waste and if you don’t have enough crises, manufacture some.

One of these days it’s not gonna be a false flag. The qverage person has no idea how unprotected our infrastructure is. We are wide open to a physical or an online attack.

My gut instinct is that all the rental cars will be gone by the time you make it to the counter.
